You are bang on the money.... but the emphasis is not on the capabilities of these machines... its the mindset of the execs at benz.... they actually priced a brand new product not only undercutting their retired product but also a lot of their rivals!!! This is an MB first!!! makes you wonder if the breakup of DC hurt them so much that they have to lure buyers...... And maybe ...just MAYBE BMW might slash prices in the future??
